A96863	The saints entrance into peace and rest by death: as it was held forth in a sermon / preached at the funerall of that honourable statesman, and ever to be valued father and lover of his country, Sir William Armyne baronet one of the members of the high court of Parliament: in the day when hee was buryed with his fathers, being honourably but mournfully attended from London where he dyed, to Lenton in Lincolnshire, where he was interred, in the ancient sepulchre of his ancestors, May 10. 1651. By Seth Wood preacher of the Gospel at Lenton.	Wood, Seth.	1651 (1651)	Wing W3406; Thomason E632_8; ESTC R206455	20,106	28

death_n and_o call_v it_o but_o sleep_n thomas_n be_v content_a to_o die_v also_o it_o be_v easy_o apply_v to_o our_o purpose_n that_o saint_n shall_v no_o more_o fear_n to_o die_v then_o rest_n in_o

very_o great_a testimony_n of_o his_o ability_n this_o way_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o they_o that_o know_v he_o best_o will_v say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o able_a and_o a_o nimble_a soul_n be_v by_o his_o solid_a wisdom_n the_o constant_a master_n of_o a_o clear_a and_o smooth_a fancy_n as_o to_o his_o conversation_n among_o man_n as_o a_o man_n it_o be_v on_o every_o side_n and_o among_o all_o man_n desirable_a and_o delightful_a it_o be_v say_v of_o titus_n the_o roman_a that_o for_o his_o excellency_n this_o way_n he_o be_v style_v deliciae_fw-la humani_fw-la

i_o have_v say_v a_o little_a to_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o a_o man_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a take_v he_o but_o thus_o far_o have_v he_o be_v a_o roman_a and_o live_v in_o those_o day_n when_o they_o know_v how_o to_o value_v gallantry_n to_o its_o worth_n they_o will_v have_v count_v he_o worth_a his_o weight_n in_o gold_n but_o we_o will_v pass_v unto_o his_o better_a part_n this_o

to_o accomplish_v this_o end_n and_o the_o son_n quick_o give_v fair_a proof_n that_o his_o soul_n be_v no_o barren_a ground_n to_o such_o good_a seed_n for_o what_o principle_n his_o parent_n teach_v

then_o be_v real_o in_o he_o be_v that_o it_o be_v his_o principle_n rather_o to_o do_v three_o good_a deed_n than_o talk_v of_o one_o he_o be_v like_o a_o piece_n well_o and_o deep_o charge_v you_o

of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o under_o these_o two_o head_n first_o in_o the_o good_a that_o appear_v to_o be_v in_o himself_o second_o in_o what_o it_o appear_v he_o do_v good_a to_o other_o in_o

provoke_v for_o the_o good_a he_o do_v to_o the_o outward_a man_n for_o other_o i_o need_v not_o tell_v his_o work_n will_v praise_v he_o in_o the_o gate_n and_o tell_v how_o good_a a_o landlord_n

but_o he_o be_v a_o aristides_n just_a and_o discreet_a and_o diligent_a there_o be_v three_o particular_a excellency_n in_o he_o which_o make_v he_o a_o most_o complete_a statesman_n 1_o his_o

for_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n he_o well_o know_v the_o bounder_n and_o meere-stone_n betwixt_o rule_n and_o liberty_n and_o how_o to_o lead_v and_o lay_v the_o line_n and_o state_n the_o case_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o be_v fit_a to_o plead_v his_o country_n cause_n against_o the_o intrusion_n and_o subtlety_n of_o her_o most_o potent_a and_o cunning_a enemy_n as_o well_o appear_v by_o
